Interesting episode. I am glad that Pilaf is back. I also forgot completely about kinto un, his cloud.

Kinda sad that Kuririn died :(

All this time I'm thinking: "Why is he not calling on Kinto Un"? but it turned out even Goku forgot about it because he hasn't used it in sooo long. lol

DB is getting interesting now. I'm glad I decided to catch up on the series :)

Seeing more background on Roshi and Shen is always cool and of course King Piccolo arc is finally here, this is gonna be a good one.

Oh boy we directly go into a new arc with Picolo! He sure changes in DBZ! Lets see what's next and how Goku will find all dragonballs again to wish Kuririn alive!

Here we are at the King Piccolo saga. Good amount amount of backstory for Master Roshi, Master Shen and Piccolo. Pilaf has no fucking idea what he's getting himself into.

This should be a really interesting arc. I'm really upset that Pilaf is back. In my opinion he has been the most annoying villain in the whole series. It's also really upsetting that Krillin is dead. I really liked him. But I am exited to watch more of this arc.

Great episode, I liked how Gokuu rushed out after the killer of Kuririn without pausing. Also how at times it seems the series takes place a long time after our civilisation (like in the pirate arc with general Blue). Nice world building.

Pilaf dun fucked up, I think. So this is Piccolo Daidamo, huh? He's kind of huge and not who I thought he would be.

This is the first time Legendary Fighter Master Mutaito is unveiled i believe. The sole teacher of both Shen and Roshi. He's actually the first character to ever be able to manipulate ki and in tern passed it down to roshi, turtle hermit school and shen's crane school. Already one episode in and you get that kind of development.

Son Goku goes for revenge for poor Krillin. The murderer was one of King Piccolo's crew. Piccolo was sealed by Muten Roshi's teacher Master Mutaito long time ago. But thanks to Pilaf, Piccolo isn't sealed anymore. Piccolo want the Dragon Balls and he wants to kill every fighter from the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament.

This arc has an awkwardly serious start, and the whole backstory seemed to come out of nowhere right after the overly serious tone shift Kururin murder, it overall feels unnatural I suppose. However, I think I can look past that because this arc looks like it'll be really good. Pretty intense way to start it, and a good way to bring together our entire cast minus Kururin, rest in peace.

Wow what an intense start to a new arc! This is so much more serious than up till now, what a strange twist! Even the opening scene changed. I´m not quite used to this yet, I guess.
Poor Kuririn! I wonder how this all keeps going!

The return of Pilaf! I always enjoy having him in the show. He always amuses me! Have any of you found the rice cooker that sealed off Piccolo Daimao cute? xD

Meanwhile, I can't help but wanting to ship Launch and Tien! They look so adorable in this picture. It's like Tien was holding (Krillin) their child! Lmao!


She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

This was an interesting history lesson for the Dragon Ball universe. And to think Master Roshi and Master Shen underwent something as unfortunate as this. I can understand why Master Shen would experience a major change and become someone less than pleasant and intolerable at times. It is sad to see two good friends and comrades drift apart due to regrettable circumstances. Maybe, in this saga, Master Shen and Master Roshi can put aside their differences and work together, that is if Master Shen makes a reappearance from wherever hole he found himself in after getting blasted off to the sky courtesy to Master Roshi.

That said, of course, Pilaf would be the one to set King Piccolo free. To be honest, with all his charade about wanting to rule the world, I didn't think he would go so far off as to unleash a seemingly destructive monster. I am disappointed. I thought he was a bit better than that. That said, it appears that King Piccolo is stricken with old age. That, coupled with the fact that he was trapped for centuries inside a rice cooker -this troll lol- would make one believe that King Piccolo is in a weakened state at the moment.

This is the episode that Dragon Ball changes completely. The ost here is used in Z too. Damn I got so hyped. Can't wait to see Goku kicking their butts.

Oh my, and here we are introduced to the Dragon Ball universe's, perhaps, strongest villain so far. Pilaf is truly pathetic for even releasing him. Oh well, let's see how this ends. I'm sure Krillin will be revived or something along the lines of such later on anyway.

What in the world is this horrible story!!!

Goku better start listening also. King Piccolo, only the name is funny. Now when we knew that Goku is the strongest human, this king Piccolo showed up and killed Krillian. Now Goku will have not only fight with this demon but also defeat him!

I hope Goku survives. Because here we are in short of fighters and only Goku can learn so fast to defeat king Piccolo. I hope Master Shen comes back. Everyone must unite to defeat this mess the greatest fool Pilaf made. This guy is being more annoying.
